... And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost is an american poet born in San Francisco in 1874. His poems have become the most meaningful in the United States because of his great artistic expressions concerning themes such as, the rural life in New England, philosophy, the sense of life, and other topics that catapulted him as the founder of modern poetry in his country.

In Frost's poems, one of the most endearing elements is the use of natural phenomena to describe issues related to feelings, stages in human being's life and even his poems question, if not the existence, but the real meaning of a eternal peace, that also is applied to the purgatory or the perpetual conviction of suffering. 

Most of the poems of Robert Frost relates issues about life and death, and all of them have lots of symbols, polysemy, that leads the reader to create many different interpretations about certain sources used frequently by Frost such as the winter, the light and the darkness. Certainly, those are the three main elements in the poem I've chosen for analysis, "A Winter Eden". In this poem prevails the psychology of color that is evident in some verses when the author provides the symbol of peace and purity by the search of a serene and safe place to live forever, such a kind of heaven, and criticizing some stereotypes imposed by the Church concerning to the individuals' fate , rejecting the defects and unknown things to them.

Finally, Robert Frost is a poet who could criticize, in an elegant and subtle way, the limits imposed to individuals, either in society nor beliefs,  that tides people's souls. Also, Frost remarks frequently the free will in terms of  success and an end of life more peaceful to each person.
